Wow.

This person really doesn't take disciplinary action seriously!

Zhu Linjia, I understand.

She's a socialite who attends six social events every week. I believe it when they say she has a wide network. But I don't believe it when they say she can outperform the whole college in the highly competitive computer science department and win scholarships.

Thanks to the school's lack of privacy protection awareness, she always posts her entire file in the group after every exam. I quickly found the grade sheet for all students in the college this semester in the WeChat group.

I saw it right away when I saw first place.

And Zhu Linjia, seventh in the class, twenty-second in the major.

What?!

Not even in the top twenty-one? Just a substitute for her?

The ancestors must be turning in their graves. They must be setting it on fire.

So blatant. Have they gone mad?

"Bang!"

I had just stepped into the dorm when a firework exploded next to me.

I had a bunch of ribbons wrapped around my expressionless head.

"Congratulations to our national scholarship winner for returning in glory!"

Honghua held a firework in her hand, dancing around.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that I wasn't celebrating as much as she had imagined, Honghua's mood began to cool down.

"Didn't the counselor look for you about the national scholarship?"

"Yes." She did come to me about the scholarship.

"And you?"

"She told me that I didn't meet the qualifications. There's no scholarship for me this time, and she told me to work harder next time."

"Damn, aren't you the first? How come you're not qualified?"

"No, you're not qualified. Then who got the scholarship?"

I recalled the several lists I had seen in the office and recited them one by one.

"- Zhu Linjia! How can it be her? Her grades are okay, which means so can mine! Why won't they give me the national scholarship!" Honghua's mouth dropped open, almost fitting an egg inside.

"Hmph, even if they give it to you, you still have to have the ability to handle it." Zhu Linjia came out of the restroom, her chin up.

"How did you get the scholarship?" Honghua pressed my hand.

"Well, of course, I'm excellent enough!" Zhu Linjia shook her head, clucking her tongue in amazement. "Honghua, stop pretending to be righteous. I thought you were Deng Sui's dog. Why are you defending him so much?"

"Then you're wrong. Only people who know you will think you're not human." I retorted against Zhu Linjia.

"Deng Sui, I'm telling you, you don't deserve the things you're fantasizing about. You can't beat me."

"How do you know it's impossible? My bed, class monitor, aren't they all mine? You're jealous of me too, aren't you? I'm smarter and prettier than you, more ambitious and liked by the teachers and students. I even scored more than you in the final exams by over twenty places."

"What are you? A country girl who only knows how to study and got all these things by sleeping with who knows how many men." Zhu Linjia stared at me, her fingers clenched so tightly they turned pale, but she wasn't angry enough yet.

"Not only that, I also got first prize in the Challenge Cup, second prize in the debate competition, second prize in the foreign language speaking competition... my goodness Zhu Linjia, what awards have you won? Don't tell me you only have awards from singing contests."

Zhu Linjia is jealous and impulsive. I deliberately said these words to provoke her. And sure enough-

"What's the use of winning all those awards? Your national scholarship is still mine. Deng Sui, I'm telling you, you'll never catch up to me, even if you spend your whole life winning awards. You can't even catch up to my taillights. Take your awards and sleep on Tianqiao Street."

Enough. I looked at the blinking red light on my phone.

After Zhu Linjia finished speaking, she opened the door to the dorm and left in a hurry.

"- Zhu Linjia has someone at home. They took your national scholarship." Honghua observed my emotions carefully.

I couldn't help but smile. "I'm fine. It was just speculation to begin with, and now it's confirmed."

"Do you want to endure this? It seems like the school is siding with her too."

"I won't just let it go." What's mine will be mine.

"What do you want me to do?" Honghua was eager to try.

"..."

"When the time comes, I'll need you." I winked at Honghua, playing a riddle.
